Influence of a Static Magnetic Field on the ⟨100⟩ Growth Rates of Sodium Chlorate Crystals from Aqueous Solution.

ABSTRACT: The results of the study of the influence of a static magnetic field of 55 ± 3 mT on the growth rates of diamagnetic sodium chlorate crystals in the direction ⟨100⟩ will be presented. Two groups of experiments were performed in the same solution supersaturation range of 0.89-1.78%, the first in zero field conditions, and the second in an applied magnetic field. The results show that crystals nucleated and grown in a static magnetic field have higher mean growth rates in the ⟨100⟩ direction than crystals in a zero field. Also, X-ray analyses suggest that crystals nucleated and grown in a magnetic field may have a higher lattice constant. Possible mechanisms and possible reasons for these phenomena are discussed.

Effects of magnetite nanoparticles and static magnetic field on neural differentiation of pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Neural proliferation and differentiation fates of pluripotent stem cells are influenced by external natural forces. Despite the presence of biogenic magnetite nanoparticles in the central nervous system and constant exposure to Earth’s magnetic fields and other sources, there has been scant knowledge regarding the role of electromagnetic stimuli in neurogenesis. Moreover, the emerging application of electrical and magnetic stimulation to treat neurological disorders emphasizes the relevance of understanding the impact and mechanisms behind these stimuli. Here, the effects of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) contained in polymeric coatings and the static external magnetic field (EMF, 0.4 Tesla) were investigated on neural induction of murine embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into induced dopaminergic neurons (iDA).

Recyclable magnetic carbonaceous porous composites derived from MIL-100(Fe) for superior adsorption and removal of malachite green from aqueous solution.

Project description:Development of novel porous materials for efficient adsorption and removal of environmental pollutants from aqueous solution is of great importance and interest in environmental science and chemistry. Herein, we reported a facile synthesis of recyclable magnetic carbonaceous porous composite derived from iron-based metal-organic framework MIL-100(Fe) for superior adsorption and removal of malachite green (MG) from aqueous solution. Because of large surface area and high porosity, the synthesized magnetic carbonaceous porous material presented a superior adsorption capacity of 2090 mg g-1 for MG. The adsorption of MG on magnetic carbonaceous porous composite is endothermic and spontaneous. The prepared magnetic carbonaceous porous composite could be separated easily and rapidly from the solution matrix by an external magnet. The rapid adsorption, large adsorption capacity and good reusability make it attractive for practical use in the adsorption and removal of dyes from aqueous solutions.

Static magnetic field regulates Arabidopsis root growth via auxin signaling.

Project description:Static magnetic field (SMF) plays important roles in biological processes of many living organisms. In plants, however, biological significance of SMF and molecular mechanisms underlying SMF action remain largely unknown. To address these questions, we treated Arabidopsis young seedlings with different SMF intensities and directions. Magnetic direction from the north to south pole was adjusted in parallel (N0) with, opposite (N180) and perpendicular to the gravity vector. We discovered that root growth is significantly inhanced by 600 mT treatments except for N180, but not by any 300 mT treatments. N0 treatments lead to more active cell division of the meristem, and higher auxin content that is regulated by coordinated expression of PIN3 and AUX1 in root tips. Consistently, N0-promoted root growth disappears in pin3 and aux1 mutants. Transcriptomic and gene ontology analyses revealed that in roots 85% of the total genes significantly down-regulated by N0 compared to untreatment are enriched in plastid biological processes, such as metabolism and chloroplast development. Lastly, no difference in root length is observed between N0-treated and untreated roots of the double cryptochrome mutant cry1 cry2. Taken together, our data suggest that SMF-regulated root growth is mediated by CRY and auxin signaling pathways in Arabidopsis.

Strong static magnetic field delayed the early development of zebrafish.

Project description:One of the major topics in magnetobiology is the biological effects of strong static magnetic field (SMF) on living organisms. However, there has been a paucity of the comprehensive study of the long-term effects of strong SMF on an animal's development. Here, we explored this question with zebrafish, an excellent model organism for developmental study. In our research, zebrafish eggs, just after fertilization, were exposed to a 9.0 T SMF for 24 h, the critical period of post-fertilization development from cleavage to segmentation. The effects of strong SMF exposure on the following developmental progress of zebrafish were studied until 6 days post-fertilization (dpf). Results showed that 9.0 T SMF exposure did not influence the survival or the general developmental scenario of zebrafish embryos. However, it slowed down the developmental pace of the whole animal, and the late developers would catch up with their control peers after the SMF was removed. We proposed a mechanical model and deduced that the development delaying effect was caused by the interference of SMF in microtubule and spindle positioning during mitosis, especially in early cleavages. Our research data provide insights into how strong SMF influences the developing organisms through basic physical interactions with intracellular macromolecules.

Control of active liquid crystals with a magnetic field.

Project description:Living cells sense the mechanical features of their environment and adapt to it by actively remodeling their peripheral network of filamentary proteins, known as cortical cytoskeleton. By mimicking this principle, we demonstrate an effective control strategy for a microtubule-based active nematic in contact with a hydrophobic thermotropic liquid crystal. By using well-established protocols for the orientation of liquid crystals with a uniform magnetic field, and through the mediation of anisotropic shear stresses, the active nematic reversibly self-assembles with aligned flows and textures that feature orientational order at the millimeter scale. The turbulent flow, characteristic of active nematics, is in this way regularized into a laminar flow with periodic velocity oscillations. Once patterned, the microtubule assembly reveals its intrinsic length and time scales, which we correlate with the activity of motor proteins, as predicted by existing theories of active nematics. The demonstrated commanding strategy should be compatible with other viable active biomaterials at interfaces, and we envision its use to probe the mechanics of the intracellular matrix.

Dynamically Tuning the Up-conversion Luminescence of Er(3+)/Yb(3+) Co-doped Sodium Niobate Nano-crystals through Magnetic Field.

Project description:In this work, we show here that the up-conversion luminescence of NaNbO3:Er(3+)/Yb(3+) nano-materials can be modulated by magnetic field and a enhancement of up-conversion intensities by a factor of about 2 for Er(3+):(4)S3/2 → (4)I15/2 obtained at 30 T and about 5.4 for Er(3+):(4)F9/2 → (4)I15/2 obtained at 20 T. The increased up-conversion luminescence are mainly interpreted in terms of the enhanced non-radiation transition from (4)I11/2 to (4)I13/2 of Er(3+) ions and the spin-orbital coupling (that is "mixing" effect) in crystal field by an external magnetic field. Meanwhile, we observed continuously spectra broadening with growing the magnetic field intensity, which is ascribed to the "mixing" effect induced by magnetic field and the difference of g factor of sub-bands. This bi-functional material with controllable optical-magnetic interactions has various potential applications, such as optical detection of magnetic field, etc.

Decoding biomass recalcitrance: Dispersion of ionic liquid in aqueous solution and efficient extraction of lignans with microwave magnetic field.

Project description:Alkaline ionic liquid aqueous solutions were used to extract biphenyl cyclooctene lignans derivatives, and hydrolyze to the free-state biphenyl cyclooctene lignans simultaneously from Schisandra chinensis by microwave-assisted heating. The hydrogen bonds formatted between ionic liquid and water molecular attacks the amorphous region of cellulose. Selective heating by microwave produce the more polar regions, which results in swelling and fragmentation of raw materials near the hot spots. Therefore, ionic liquid-microwave-assisted extraction method of free-state biphenyl cyclooctene lignans was set up. The solid residue after treatment was characterized by infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, which showed that cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin were removed partially. The water content of ionic liquid solution affected its viscosity and diffusivity, and in turns the extraction efficiency of lignans. The IL solutions with different mole fractions of IL were detected by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, the result shows that IL solutions with higher water contents (>0.6) won't form clusters. The optimum hydrolysis conditions were 0.2 g of ionic liquid catalyst per 5.0 g of S. chinensis fruits, a microwave irradiation power of 600 W, and heating time of 12 min, which gave a yield of free-state biphenyl cyclooctene lignans of 4.12±0.37 mg g-1. Besides, a hydrolysis mechanism of ester-bond biphenyl cyclooctene lignans and decreasing "biomass recalcitrance effect" by ionic liquid microwave-assisted method was proposed.

Ultra-large electric field-induced strain in potassium sodium niobate crystals.

Project description:Electromechanical coupling in piezoelectric materials allows direct conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa. Here, we demonstrate lead-free (K x Na1-x )NbO3 single crystals with an ultrahigh large-signal piezoelectric coefficient d33* of 9000 pm V-1, which is superior to the highest value reported in state-of-the-art lead-based single crystals (~2500 pm V-1). The enhanced electromechanical properties in our crystals are realized by an engineered compositional gradient in the as-grown crystal, allowing notable reversible non-180° domain wall motion. Moreover, our crystals exhibit temperature-insensitive strain performance within the temperature range of 25°C to 125°C. The enhanced temperature stability of the response also allows the materials to be used in a wider range of applications that exceed the temperature limits of current lead-based piezoelectric crystals.

Transcranial Static Magnetic Field Stimulation of the Motor Cortex in Children.

Project description:BackgroundNon-invasive neuromodulation is an emerging therapy for children with early brain injury but is difficult to apply to preschoolers when windows of developmental plasticity are optimal. Transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) decreases primary motor cortex (M1) excitability in adults but effects on the developing brain are unstudied.Objective/hypothesisWe aimed to determine the effects of tSMS on cortical excitability and motor learning in healthy children. We hypothesized that tSMS over right M1 would reduce cortical excitability and inhibit contralateral motor learning.MethodsThis randomized, sham-controlled, double-blinded, three-arm, cross-over trial enrolled 24 healthy children aged 10-18 years. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) assessed cortical excitability via motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitude and paired pulse measures. Motor learning was assessed via the Purdue Pegboard Test (PPT). A tSMS magnet (677 Newtons) or sham was held over left or right M1 for 30 min while participants trained the non-dominant hand. A linear mixed effect model was used to examine intervention effects.ResultsAll 72 tSMS sessions were well tolerated without serious adverse effects. Neither cortical excitability as measured by MEPs nor paired-pulse intracortical neurophysiology was altered by tSMS. Possible behavioral effects included contralateral tSMS inhibiting early motor learning (p < 0.01) and ipsilateral tSMS facilitating later stages of motor learning (p < 0.01) in the trained non-dominant hand.ConclusiontSMS is feasible in pediatric populations. Unlike adults, tSMS did not produce measurable changes in MEP amplitude. Possible effects of M1 tSMS on motor learning require further study. Our findings support further exploration of tSMS neuromodulation in young children with cerebral palsy.

Static magnetic field therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome: a feasibility study.

Project description:ObjectivesTo assess the feasibility of conducting trials of static magnetic field (SMF) therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), to collect preliminary data on the effectiveness of 2 SMF dosages, and to explore the influence of an SMF on median nerve conduction.DesignRandomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial with a 6-week intervention and a 12-week follow-up.SettingUniversity hospital outpatient clinics.ParticipantsWomen and men (N=60), ages 21 to 65 years, with an electrophysiologically confirmed CTS diagnosis recruited from the general population.InterventionsParticipants wore nightly either neodymium magnets that delivered either 15 or 45 mTesla (mT) to the contents of the carpal canal or a nonmagnetic disk.Main outcome measuresSymptom Severity Scale (SSS) and Function Severity Scale (FSS) of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) and 4 median nerve parameters: sensory distal latency, sensory nerve action potential amplitude, motor distal latency and compound motor action potential amplitude.ResultsFifty-eight of 60 randomized participants completed the study. There were no significant between-group differences for change in the primary endpoint SSS or for FSS or median nerve conduction parameters. For the SSS and the FSS, each group showed a reduction at 6 weeks indicating improvement in symptoms.ConclusionsThis study showed the feasibility and safety of testing SMF therapy for CTS. There were no between-group differences observed for the BCTQ or median nerve parameters after 6 weeks of SMF therapy. Significant within-group, symptomatic improvements of the same magnitude were experienced by participants in both active and sham magnet groups. Future studies are needed to optimize SMF dosimetry and resolve issues related to the use of sham controls in SMF trials.
